Topic development feedback

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to see editing changes made whilst reviewing this chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments below may also be about all material on the page at the time of providing this feedback.

Title The title is correctly worded and formatted The sub-title is correctly worded and formatted User page Created – minimal, but sufficient Consider linking to your eportfolio page and/or any other professional online profile or resume such as LinkedIn. This is not required, but it can be useful to interlink your professional networks. Link provided to book chapter Social contribution At least one contribution has been made and summarised with indirect link(s) to evidence Add direct links to evidence. To do this: View the page history, select the version of the page before and after your contributions, click "compare selected revisions", and then use this website address as a direct link to evidence for listing on your user page. For more info, see Making and summarising social contributions. Headings Logical, 2-level heading structure Could benefit from further development at the 2nd heading level. As you get to know the literature about EV motivations better, the heading structure in that section can evolve. Keep the initial part relatively simple/brief (What is EVing), so that you can concentrate on the EV motivations. Similarly, it is good to know something about benefits, but this is not as important as the motivations. Key points Basic development of key points for each section, with relevant citations Check out the functional motivation approach that was discussed in Tutorial 03; there is some EVing motivation literature that uses this approach. Overview - Consider adding: a brief, evocative description of the problem an image an example or case study Strive for an integrated balance of theory and research Promising use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters Consider including more examples/case studies Conclusion (the most important section): Underway Figure A relevant figure is presented and it is appropriately captioned Cite each figure at least once in the main text References Excellent I've made some minor changes Resources See also Excellent External links Excellent

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is an insufficient chapter I suspect that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter. Move non-peer reviewed links into the external links section Well under the maximum word count, so there is room to expand For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Basic Overview Explains the problem or phenomenon Consider introducing a case study or example or using an image to help engage reader interest Basic focus question(s). Only one question directly relates to the target topic. Theory – Breadth Basic but sufficient coverage of relevant theory is provided Build more strongly on other related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Theory – Depth Basic depth of use of relevant psychological theory Research – Key findings Insufficient use of relevant psychological research Greater emphasis on effect sizes, major reviews, and/or meta-analyses would be helpful Research – Critical thinking Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Integration Insufficient integration of relevant theory and research Conclusion Basic summary Add practical, take-home message(s) in response to each focus question Written expression – Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic Use active (e.g., "this chapter explored") rather than passive voice (e.g., "this chapter has explored" or "this chapter will explore") [1][2] Some paragraphs are overly long. Each paragraph should communicate one key idea in three to five sentences Layout Sections which branch into sub-sections should include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Grammar The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). Grammar-checking tools are available in most internet browsers and word processing software packages. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance. Abbreviations Avoid over-use of abbreviations; better to spell out Figures Provide more detailed Figure captions to help connect the figure to the text Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., see Figure 1) Tables Table captions should use APA style. See example Tables are referred to using APA style Refer to each Table at least once within the main text (e.g., see Table 1) Citations are not in full APA style (7th ed.). For example: Use ampersand (&) inside parentheses and "and" outside parentheses Multiple citations in parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order by first author surname References are not in full APA style. For example: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Check and correct use of italicisation Written expression – Learning features Overall, the use of learning features is basic Two uses of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive. See example. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Good use of image(s) Basic use of table(s) Basic use of feature box(es) Basic use of quiz(zes) No use of case studies as examples Basic use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Basic use of external links in the "External links" section Social contribution ~3 logged, minor social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is a basic presentation The presentation is over the maximum time limit — content beyond 3 mins is ignored for marking and feedback purposes Overview An opening slide with the title (environment -> environmental) and sub-title is displayed and narrated — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation This presentation has an opening scenario to hook audience interest Establish a context for the topic (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand Focus questions are presented Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section There is too much content (presentation is over time) The presentation is well structured (i.e., Overview, Content, Conclusion) The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological research The presentation makes good use of relevant psychological research The presentation includes citations to support claims The presentation makes good use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice Check and correct grammar (e.g., adolescences -> adolescents) Conclusion A Conclusion slide is presented and narrated The Conclusion only partly fitted within the time limit Audio The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio Audio communication is well paced Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement The narration is well practiced, but sounds like it is being read out. Consider being more conversational. Audio recording quality was OK. Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., some background noise was audible). Consider using an external microphone. Check pronunciation (e.g., conversation -> conservation) Video Overall, visual display quality is good The presentation makes good use of text and image based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. However, the choice of some colours made the text difficult to read. Some of the font size could be larger to make it easier to read Consider using a sans-serif typeface to make the text easier to read The amount of text presented per slide was reasonably easy to read and listen at the same time The visual communication is supplemented in a basic way by images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools Meta-data The chapter title and sub-title (or an abbreviation to fit within the 100 character limit) are used in the name of the presentation — this helps to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Check and correct capitalisation of sub-title. A brief written description of the presentation is provided. Consider expanding. Links to and from the book chapter are provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are communicated A copyright license for the presentation is provided

Feedback on chapter This chapter would benefit a lot by drawing in the following theories: Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of needs, Alderfer's ERG theory, McClelland's achievement motivation theory, These theories would explain the motivations for volunteering and how we could encourage more people to become environmental volunteers. For example you could say that people are motivated to become volunteers The chapter could also have a short section about eco-anxiety and how that is a motivator for volunteering.
